SummaryGood for heat sinks that lack a secure mounting mechanism. Much better than two sided tape or weaker compounds used or supplied by manufacturers. Do not use on CPUs or other applications where the heat sink may need to be removed.

ProsIt does what is says, hold things without mechanical attachment. Better than double side tape.

ConsThis stuff is strong, like our everyday home epoxy. Almost no second chance on your installation.

SummaryFirst, read the instruction on their web site.I messed up my installation on the first time, and I manage to remove the wrongly installed heatsink by putting the card in the freezer for 1 hour (in an anti-static bag). After that, the adhesive crystallise and it's "easier" to remove. Be sure what you are installing is where you want to be on the first time. Cheers

SummaryI bought this to readhere a heatsink to a specialty interface card for a large CNC machince at a factory. It worked perfectly and got them back up and running. Very good hold and heat characteristics were excellent. Would definately recommend this for odd jobs where you need the heatsink attached permanently.

SummaryI was not aware that this product existed until I decided I wasn't totally satisfied with thermal tape. Although I'm a little worried that I could mess up and short something on my video card, it's a risk I'm willing to take in order to ensure that ramsinks and voltage regulator heatsinks stay afixed.
